Located just 2 km from the center of Azay-le-Rideau, in the heart of one of Touraine’s most sought-after tourist areas, this château—built in 1909—has remained in the same family since its construction. The property offers approximately 1,060 m² of living space and a total floor area of ​​nearly 2,000 m². Renovated in 2013, the château is in excellent condition and retains a particularly interesting interior layout, where spacious volumes and period features play a central role. Generous proportions set the tone right from the entrance. A remarkable staircase serves the upper floors and facilitates a fluid flow between the various reception and living areas. The château comprises 17 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, along with two kitchens and two dressing rooms. Highlights include two formal reception rooms, each exceeding 70 m² and boasting ceilings 5.60 meters high. Their spaciousness, décor, and well-preserved architectural details all testify to the home's distinctive character. The construction was notably innovative for its time, featuring double glazing and original pocket doors—details that are quite rare for a property built in the early 20th century. Outside, the château opens onto a park offering lovely vistas. A large south-facing terrace provides a natural extension to the reception rooms, allowing residents to fully enjoy the surroundings. A swimming pool complements the leisure facilities, while a former tennis court could be restored to use. An independent pavilion of approximately 130 m²—currently in need of complete renovation—offers further potential for use as a guest house, a separate residence, or a space for a future business venture. Despite its size, the property enjoys a well-balanced location: a peaceful setting that is not isolated, situated in the immediate vicinity of Azay-le-Rideau and the Loire Valley's main attractions. The renovation also placed particular emphasis on energy efficiency. The château boasts an impressive energy performance rating for a property of this scale, thanks notably to the installation of heat pumps and a thermodynamic water heater. Two gas boilers also provide heating for part of the château, while the pavilion has its own dedicated gas boiler. With its spacious interiors, numerous bedrooms, and layout, this residence is ideally suited as a large family home—whether for primary or secondary use. It also lends itself perfectly to a high-end hospitality venture, such as a bed and breakfast. A property of real character—distinguished as much by its architecture and spaciousness as by its excellent state of preservation—located just minutes from the center of Azay-le-Rideau in the heart of Touraine.

One hour and a quarter from Paris, in a peaceful commune of Eure, a beautiful gate opens onto an honor courtyard beyond which reveals this neoclassical silhouette castle with balanced proportions: minimalist facade, wrought iron balconies, balustrade roof terrace. It was formerly part of the Anet castle estate, owned by the Dukes of Orléans until 1830, before Frédéric Passy, one of the first Nobel Peace Prize laureates, made it his home in 1901. It was then called the Red Castle, in reference to the brick that clothed it. The 1929 fire made it reborn in 1933 in the form of an 18th-century folly inspired by the Petit Trianon, typical of the elegant pleasure homes built to entertain and retreat to the countryside. The porch, guarded by two stone sphinxes, opens onto a marble-floored hall in black and white checkerboard and its wooden staircase. On either side, receptions follow in a row: a large living room with gilded paneling, marble fireplace, and Corinthian pilasters, a dining room with multicolored marble, a music room with marble walls, and a small library-living room. The rooms on this level connect seamlessly and open through wide arched French doors onto the terrace. Herringbone parquet, moldings, gilding, ironwork, and crystal chandeliers mark out a carefully preserved original decor. A kitchen and a dressing room complete this level, which extends directly onto the terrace and garden. On the upper floor, five bright bedrooms with fine woodwork and great quietness open onto the park and trees, several with balcony, under high ceilings. They have four bathrooms and preserve lovely details, including a remarkable mosaic rosette. The basement houses a bedroom with its bathroom, a service kitchen, a spa area with sauna and hammam, cellars, and a technical room. Some rooms remain to be fitted out according to needs. Outside, the terrace overlooks a formal garden that retains its entire geometry: flower beds, trimmed yews, octagonal basin in the center, statues, gravel pathways, and perspectives open onto magnificent trees. The Eure borders the property on both sides and invites walks through more than one and a half hectares of wooded and preserved park, away from prying eyes. A 90 sqm. caretaker's house with three bedrooms, a cold storage room, and garages complete the ensemble. The volumes, the light, and the richness of the original decor are present. Few properties combine the authenticity of a historic castle and the pleasure of a riverside park to this extent. Refreshing is needed to turn it into a large family home or a reception residence less than an hour from Paris. Anet and its shops are a few minutes away, major roads are nearby. A rare property full of character, we invite you to discover it on site.

Ref.4905 : Elegant 18th-C. Chateau in the Brenne region of Berry, featuring guesthouses and stables This elegant property is located three and a half hours from the capital, in the heart of the Brenne, the “Land of a Thousand Ponds.” The Brenne is a natural region renowned for its unspoiled wilderness and exceptional biodiversity, designated as a Regional Nature Park. This region offers a wide range of opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Birdwatchers come from all over the world to observe waterfowl and migratory birds, while hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders enjoy the trails winding through the ponds. Hunting enthusiasts also find ideal terrain here, provided they practice responsible hunting. La Brenne is not only a nature reserve but also a vibrant region where nature and human activity have coexisted in harmony for centuries. It is an area known for livestock farming and fish farming, whose products are integral to the local cuisine. In this regard, the Michelin-starred Maison Dallais (La Promenade restaurant) is just thirty minutes away. In this area of scattered settlements, the property, nestled in its own grounds on the edge of a hamlet, enjoys absolute tranquility just three and a half hours from Paris. Nearby, just a few minutes from the château, lies Le Blanc, a charming little town with all the necessary shops and services. Just a little further on, in the beautiful Creuse Valley, Fontgombault Abbey is home to a vibrant Benedictine community. And less than thirty minutes away, heading toward Poitou, lies the spa town of La Roche-Posay, whose waters treat the most common skin conditions. The world-famous cosmetics of the same name are produced there. Poitiers, a major regional, university, and commercial city, is the area’s main hub. It’s just over an hour away. The orientation of the house has no doubt changed over time, as it is likely that the main entrance was previously through what is now the park. Indeed, the five-bay façade on this side has been given a more prestigious treatment than its counterpart on the courtyard side. Two ornate bossages, imitating columns, frame a magnified central bay. On the ground floor, the jambs of the entrance bay take the form of fluted columns supporting a fine lintel with a crenellated cornice. One storey above, the window lintel is decorated with a similar entablature, whilst two storeys higher, a monumental dormer with a pediment and wings emphasises this ostentatious centrality. The other openings and dormer windows on this façade, with similar but simpler decoration, create a sense of alignment emphasised by a simple string course, whilst marking the boundary between the residential storeys. In contrast, the addition of a projecting section in the early 20th-C. transformed the courtyard façade—with its three bays and simplified decoration—into the main façade. At the base, a flared plinth followed by three wide steps leads the visitor to an entrance, where a flat bossage frames the two levels of windows with arched lintels, separated by a lintel in the form of an inverted entablature. Through this entrance, one enters a beautiful, very light-filled hall, providing access to the various rooms on the ground floor. To the left, a corridor leads to a small bathroom with a toilet. In the centre, it opens onto the dining room via a connecting door, aligned with the exit to the grounds. Through this double-length room, which acts as a hub connecting all the spaces, you reach the large sitting room with a beautiful Empire-style fireplace and a herringbone parquet floor, another smaller sitting room followed by a pantry, and the park. Finally, to the right of the entrance hall, a long corridor passes the staircase to reach the large kitchen with a monumental fireplace, an indoor water well and a service entrance leading to the courtyard or the park. On the first floor, the first half-level comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom. The next half-level is organised around a long, light-coloured wooden corridor, in the 18th-C. style, which leads to three bedrooms and a study on the right, and a bedroom with a shower on the left. The latter is situated in the front section of the house, above the entrance hall. As shown on the plan, the first bedroom on the right has an en-suite bathroom, the second has a separate toilet, and the third has a shower room. Walk-in wardrobes have been fitted within the thickness of the walls. On the second floor, in the attic, the floor previously reserved for staff remains to be converted. The total living area is approximately 400 sqm. In the attic, the former servants’ quarters cover a total area of 134 sqm. The property comprises two main outbuildings: two wings of outbuildings flanking the main house. In the left-hand wing, there are four garages with a large loft space above, as well as a holiday cottage on two levels covering approximately 70 sqm. This cottage features a large living room with a fireplace, a kitchenette and a shower, and two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower. Outside, a private terrace, an outdoor seating area and a barbecue area complete the property. In the right-hand wing is a large and beautiful old stable block with five stalls and three separate brood mares’ stalls. There is also a 140 sqm gîte on two levels, in need of restoration. Beneath this wing is a cellar housing the main house’s boiler room, its water tank and a utility room. The other outbuildings include the old, empty towers, a pole shed, a building known as a ‘bergerie’ (sheepfold) now used as a storeroom, and several small roofed structures. The grounds, covering an area of 5.3 acres, surround the property on three sides. At the rear of each wing, a meadow provides the necessary open space, whilst the wooded park, which features some fine trees and charming, shady groves, extends its green space to the west of the property.

This historic estate presents an ideal opportunity for a large-scale hotel project. Built gradually between the 15th and 20th centuries, the property comprises five main buildings totaling 22 bedrooms and offering approximately 2,500 square meters of living space. Nestled near Chartres, a cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as the prestigious châteaux of Maintenon and Nogent-le-Rotrou, the property enjoys a strategic location. Situated in the southern Perche region, it is 10 minutes from the A10 motorway and extends over a majestic estate of approximately 42 hectares, including 23 hectares of woodland, 14 hectares of meadows, and a meticulously landscaped park. While the main structure of the estate is generally in good condition, the interiors require extensive restoration. Located on the edge of a small village, the château was built on the ruins of an earlier fortress destroyed during the Hundred Years' War. Two separate entrances provide access to the property: one, facing the village, is marked by a large wrought-iron gate leading to the former gatehouse, now converted into a spacious living room. The other entrance, opening onto the park, passes through a crenellated gatehouse surmounted by an imposing tower, nicknamed the ''water tower,'' and crosses a canal via a bridge. The buildings are arranged around a U-shaped courtyard enclosed by the Louis XVI pavilion and the outbuildings, offering breathtaking views of the park. The park itself, spanning 42 hectares, is distinguished by a monumental 200-meter terrace overlooking a verdant meadow and woodlands sheltering a variety of deciduous trees, intersected by a canal. The landscaping also includes topiary parterres of boxwood and yew, a majestic tree-lined avenue, and a one-hectare kitchen garden. The five main buildings each bear witness to several historical periods: - **The Village Pavilion**, built between the 16th and 18th centuries near the village. - **The Gatehouse or Keep**, combining elements from the 15th, 18th, and 20th centuries, linked by a medieval gallery dating from the 15th century; a residential wing was added in 1980. - **The Saint-François Tower**, dating from the 15th century. - **The Louis XVI Pavilion**, sometimes called the ''Renaissance House,'' to which is attached the La Cloche Tower, dating from the 16th century and modified in the 17th and 18th centuries. - **The outbuildings**, comprising buildings constructed between the 16th, 19th, and 20th centuries and featuring remarkable 16th-century timber frames. The location of this property is considered a major asset. Paris is only 120 kilometers away, and a motorway access point is available 16 kilometers away in the direction of the capital or 8 kilometers away in the direction of Le Mans. The neighboring town of Brou, located 8 kilometers away, offers all the necessary shops and services. Technically, the property benefits from a partial mains water supply and has a combined wastewater treatment system, including a septic tank and a connection to the public sewer system. Thus, this exceptional property combines historical heritage with potential for large-scale projects. Number of units in the condominium: 4. Average annual share of charges (estimated budget): €12,000, or €1,000 per month. The fees are payable by the seller.

In the south of Sologne, set within a verdant landscape, this superb château lies at the heart of a historic estate whose origins date back to the 13th century. Extending over 40 hectares, the property features a swimming pool, tennis court and numerous outbuildings, including a chapel, stables, reception house, caretaker’s house, orangery, farm with poultry yard, kennel, vegetable garden, dovecote, orchard, woodland, meadows and river. THE CHÂTEAU Behind its historic façade, adorned with refined details and 19th-century towers, the château has been fully renovated. It offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere across approximately 936 m², where original proportions and architectural features blend seamlessly with a lifestyle perfectly suited to hosting family and friends. The period features — wood panelling, parquet floors, mouldings and marble fireplaces — have been carefully preserved and are of outstanding quality. Ground Floor The original oak doors open into a beautiful entrance hall dominated by the main staircase, located within one of the towers. The former hunting room is now an elegant reception area, ideally positioned between the dining room and kitchen. Filled with natural light, the dining room, decorated in the First Empire style, enjoys direct access to the terrace as well as convenient communication with the kitchen. With its wood panelling, glazed bookcases and fireplace, the library is one of the château’s most charming rooms. An intimate and welcoming space, particularly appreciated by guests. The 40 m² drawing room opens naturally onto the garden and swimming pool, with access to a guest cloakroom. First Floor The monumental staircase leads to three beautiful reception areas: the former billiard room, now devoted to leisure activities; a spacious TV room; and the grand salon, enhanced by its grand piano. This floor also comprises five large bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and boudoir. Two of them enjoy direct access to the swimming pool. One of the bathrooms could still be redesigned to better harmonise its fittings with the classic character of the adjoining bedroom. Close to the 62 m² grand salon, a second guest cloakroom and a private corridor serve the two principal bedrooms. A staircase also leads to the second floor and onwards to the upper terrace. Fireplaces are found throughout the château, some of which are still regularly used in the reception rooms. Second Floor Formerly reserved for children’s bedrooms and staff accommodation, this level now offers four light-filled bedrooms, all enjoying exceptional views over the park. Three bedrooms have already been redecorated, two of them with their own shower rooms. The fourth has a bathroom with a bathtub installed within the tower. This bedroom also benefits from direct access to the terrace. A bright corridor serves the bedrooms and leads to the former service staircase, now used as a secondary access and as access to the swimming pool. This level also includes a former bathroom converted into a laundry room, as well as a room dedicated to linen and storage. The service staircase still requires some restoration work, but there is potential to create an additional WC in this area. Attic Spaces and Potential for Further Development Above the principal bedroom annexe, two additional bedrooms provide a more independent area. Currently unheated, they share a shower room. They could function as two bedrooms or as a bedroom with a small private sitting room. They enjoy privileged access to the terrace as well as to the private staircase leading down towards the kitchen. The glazed gallery leading to the terrace remains to be restored. With appropriate insulation and beautiful wood panelling, it could once again become a particularly elegant and light-filled passageway. Above the main body of the château, the extensive attic spaces offer tremendous potential for further development. Their generous volume could accommodate additional living areas, a games room, an office or several more bedrooms. Cellars and Technical Areas Beneath the château annexe are two large cellars, together with a beautiful wine cellar. The first houses the boiler room and wood storage. The second contains the estate’s new heating system: a water-to-water heat pump installed in 2023. A water softener was also installed in 2023, completing the property’s technical facilities. These areas are entirely dedicated to the technical infrastructure of the property, while remaining easily accessible and completely separate from the living spaces. A Home Designed for Living With its reception rooms, numerous bedrooms, independent spaces, wine cellar, terraces and uninterrupted connection with the park and swimming pool, the château possesses that rare quality found in great family estates: the ability to accommodate many people without ever compromising privacy. A place where one can entertain, share, live as a family and, in turn, write the next chapter in the history of the estate. THE OUTBUILDINGS From the moment one passes through the grand entrance gate, the estate reveals a genuine stone hamlet arranged around its historic courtyard. Former stables, a carriage house, caretaker’s houses, chapel, kennel, orangery, wash house and agricultural buildings form a remarkable ensemble, rich in heritage and full of potential. The Gate Lodge At the entrance, near the smaller gate, this former house — probably once a bakery and later accommodation for the dog keeper — is currently used for storage. It could easily be converted into a caretaker’s house, an office or even a small shop. The Kennel At the centre of the courtyard, the remarkable stone kennel retains its rounded enclosure and wrought-iron gate. Above the door, a tufa-stone bas-relief depicts two hunting dogs, a reminder of the estate’s historic sporting and hunting vocation. The recently cleared paved courtyard is now surrounded by roses, lavender and perennial plants. The Caretaker’s House On the other side of the kennel, this independent house comprises a kitchen, living room with an original wood-burning stove, bathroom and, upstairs, two bedrooms, a shower room and a large additional space. An exterior covered area provides parking for several vehicles or storage for firewood. The Coach House The former carriage house contains three garages on the ground floor, one of which could be converted into a reception room, yoga studio or event space. Upstairs, four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms surround a large living area with an open-plan kitchen and fireplace. The building enjoys views over the park and dovecote, as well as a private garden with a barbecue area and pétanque court. The Seigniorial Chapel Probably built in the 15th century, or possibly earlier, the chapel retains numerous reminders of its long history. An inscription dated 1546 above the door bears witness to the exceptional age of the site. The Stables and Agricultural Buildings The stables have retained their four original stalls and four loose boxes. The initials of the de Lestang family can still be seen on the tiles above the feeding troughs. Beyond them are a hay barn, former dairy, laundry room with bread oven, potato store and former cowshed. Part of the roofing has already been restored; the roof of the former cowshed still requires work. The entire complex offers remarkable equestrian potential, with the possibility of additional boxes, an arena within the courtyard and paddocks in the surrounding meadows. The Orangery Located beside the vegetable garden, the former orangery has been converted into a charming independent residence comprising two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and living area. Its large windows overlook the river and the octagonal dovecote. Upstairs, a generous space remains to be converted and could accommodate additional living areas and a terrace. The Wash House Beside the river, the former wash house retains its two fireplaces and traditional architecture. With its central water channel, it could become a unique little retreat in the heart of the estate. The Garden House Finally, in the middle of the vegetable garden, the small 19th-century garden house adds a final touch of charm to this remarkable ensemble. More than simply a collection of outbuildings, this is a genuine historic hamlet, offering its future owner a multitude of possibilities: accommodating guests, working, entertaining, developing an equestrian activity or simply bringing each building back to life at its own pace.

Built at the end of the 19th century, in the heart of the Loire Valley, this remarkable 558 m2 house elegantly overlooks a landscaped park of over 4 hectares, beautifully planted with century-old trees. Transformed into a hotel in the 1980s, the property was also the last home of Mme Donnadieu, mother of the writer Marguerite Duras. A true witness of the Belle Époque, this pleasure castle has retained all the elegance of its original architecture, as well as the timeless charm and refined atmosphere that characterize this period. From the entrance, a vast hall leads to large reception rooms offering remarkable brightness, enhanced by their carefully preserved period architectural elements and opening onto the park. A superb solid wood staircase leads to the upper floors, where fourteen generously sized bedrooms unfold, each with its own private bathroom and offering magnificent views of the wooded estate. The service areas harmoniously complement the ensemble with a professional kitchen, a laundry room, a boiler room, cellars, a lounge, several bedrooms, and a bathroom, allowing for both hotel management and an exceptional family residence. Within the park, an independent 160 m2 caretaker's house accommodates three bedrooms and a family suite, offering potential complementary accommodation. It also includes a private apartment consisting of a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, three bedrooms, and an attic. Surrounded by preserved nature, this property forms a rare ensemble, imbued with serenity, where heritage, space, and the numerous development possibilities come together to bring all projects to life. Just 15 minutes from Blois and Amboise, in the heart of the prestigious landscape of the Loire châteaux, this estate offers an ideal balance between the tranquility of a green environment, proximity to shops, and quick access to the train station.This description has been automatically translated from French.
